an admissions rep from columbia told me, and i quote, “we’re looking for kids to bring passion into doing whatever gets them out of bed in the morning. if volunteering is what gets you out of bed and all riled up, then by all means do it.” she went on to say on the other hand, if something else is your passion, then you should pursue that more intently than volunteering just to “look good” for admissions.
